To be fair, what's on it still works, at least as far as I could tell. Just that I get quite uncomfortable not knowing what/why am I seeing errors when I use tc to display the qdisc stats and I don't know if just doing a filter match on dport 80 is enough or should I use the often found method of marking in iptables and filtering on the mark. > put a pfsense based router on your network border, and use that to do > the shaping :deal: Actually using pfsense was my original intention after reading up on some past discussion here. Except I didn't realize I couldn't run pfsense on top of a normal CentOS distribution and I don't have the option of putting another machine in that particular setup for a dedicated router/firewall box.
